Any vocalists out there looking to take their voice to next level? I’ve been taking voice lessons with Maya for the past year and I’m always amazed by what I discover about my voice after doing a two days of work with Maya. Maya is a master at her craft and she has an incredible talent for tricking you into unlocking and accessing abilities you never knew you had. I can’t say enough about how much this work has helped me as an artist and a performer and what a phenomenal teacher Maya is.

I immensely enjoyed Maya’s workshop on ‘Freeing your inner voice’. My background and work is as an engineering manager for a major oil company, which is to say ‘you don’t have to be a creative free spirit’ to attend, enjoy and get something from this workshop.

I came away from the workshop exhausted, having pushed my edge, feeling renewed and centered with a better understanding of myself. To have the opportunity to speak up (through voice) and be heard in a respectful and caring environment is pretty special and rare in our world and it is an opportunity that I recommend to all people.

Maya is a fantastic facilitator. She has the remarkable ability to synthesize movement and voice in a creative and fun way where it seems like we are playing and not practicing and doing exercises. Her work and approach is an example of mastery in how she blends different modalities and helps the participants manifest their own creative process. She is available, vulnerable, understanding and compassionate and is able to meet the participant for their needs. Such a talent as hers is a rarity in the world and something special to observe and be a part of.”

I attended the Free Your Natural Voice workshop with Maya about a year ago and was very impressed. The exercises and guidance that Maya supplied helped me find a range in my voice that I did not know was possible. Connecting with my voice really helped me to connect with my inner strength. I highly recommend this work.

In taking your workshop, I was looking to expand my comfort zone, to try something that scared me to bits. Your professionalism and friendly encouraging nature appealed to me. I was only scared because of my own fears of singing in public.

The workshop was an incredible experience. I felt that you eased us in slowly enough that I was able to feel comfortable enough, both in my body and through my voice, to sing in front of the group. The final voice exercise was a vocal experience unlike any I have ever had. It felt like an out-of-body experience – that my voice was not my own anymore. I loved it enough to continue taking lessons with Maya. Maya will make you feel so at ease that you’ll be wanting to sing by the end!

I would definitely recommend Maya. She is professional, kind, encouraging and so much fun to work with!
